The wire
- 01A World Journal of Surgery paper published 20 September 2026 by Tambasco, Tomaselli, Albanese and colleagues examines whether 30-day morbidity adequately defines surgical safety for patients on GLP-1 receptor agonists undergoing breast cancer surgery.
- 02Perioperative teams increasingly face patients on incretin therapy, where delayed gastric emptying and wound-healing questions bear on anesthesia and reconstruction planning.
- 03Only the title and authorship are available; the underlying data, patient numbers and any recommended perioperative interval are not detailed here.
